Founded in 1976, The School of Tai Chi Chuan, Inc. (STCC) reflects the vision of Patrick Watson, who set out to create a school of tai chi teachers to preserve and transmit the movements and principles of the tai chi form developed by his teacher, Cheng Man-Ch'ing. Our unique team teaching method has allowed the school to grow through the years following Patrick’s death in 1992.

The Tai Chi Foundation, founded in 1979, is the non-profit educational umbrella that initiates, sponsors and provides financial backing for STCC’s trainings and new course development.
